    I thought that BOND died when they took the Quinine out of Kani Lillet. Yet there seems to be another BOND Movie opening this week. Well perhaps that's why it's become so simple to to purchase Cocchi (coke-y) Americano or Lillet Blanc & Angostura Bitters. A long time ago (1953) Ian Flaming created the "VESPER" Martini in the book Casino Royal, How's it go in the Movies? 3 Measures Gin, (94 proof back then) 1 Measure Vodka (100 proof back than) 1/2 Measure Kina Lillet, and that Bond Quote " Shaken not stirred". So perhaps it's time to whip up a Vesper Martini or two while we converse about Our favorite "Bond, James Bond". While Sean Connery was the original, I believe that Daniel Craig was much better in Casino Royale than David Niven. What's Y'all's Take?

    So now that the current JAMES BOND has hit the Cinerama what is your opinion on a African Origin Female 007? (BOND GIRL?) Should JAMES BOND's 007 status be retired from Her Majesties Secret Service? Just what Scotch should all those Broccoli followers toast Ian Fleming.

    BTW Ian Fleming was an actual OPERATIVE of Her Majesties Secret Service (the names have changes yet the task remains the same) in years prior to and into WWII.

    Keep this in mind when purchasing a Walther PPK. (Even if you fail to place a Tritium tube into the front iron sight.) LOL

    Awaiting an informed response! LOL.

    Batman hasn't got a PPKS, and a Bullet Proof Austin Martin with all the Gadgets is way kooler than the fake Bat Mobile, JAMES BOND got way more HOTTER WOMEN way more often, and what Martini can you order at the Highest End Bar to match a Vesper or James Bond Martini? I may be OLD, but I've got History on my side. LOL.

    BATMAN, he's just a flash in the pan...............LOL
    Seems his rival THE JOKER has become more of an icon????????
    BTW JAMES BOND doesn't work for OUR GOVERNMENT. MI6 be damned!

    Nope, no Black or Female 007. All Fleming's books were written with a white guy as the famous spy. If they need a different color or sex then assign them new numbers. 008 or 009 or whatever and a new name. I feel the same way about the movie "Shaft". A white guy just won't work. Barbara Broccoli seems to have lost sight of the fact that people watch Bond movies for the gadgets and pretty girls and the stunts. Before the question comes up, I liked them all but Roger Moore was my favorite.

    Connery was great, but my favorite will always be Goldeneye. Pierce wasn't the greatest Bond but his movies still ticked all the boxes (cool gadgets, stunts, cool locales, women, good villains)... except Die Another Day, we don't talk about that one :)

    Daniel Craig... I like his portrayal of Bond but his run of films were all pretty boring to me.
